What's your spider story?

I hate the f*&^ing things!
Two years ago I wrote off my wife's Audi in our driveway when one dropped out of the door seal, and then down inside the front of my open shirt. The big arse spider then ran around inside my shirt in the hairy jungle..
I swerved right and side swiped two big trees, one came crashing down, then leapt off the driveway and then went down the embankment and smacked a few more trees.
Got out through the window and ripped all my gear off, then ran around in circle doing the 'spider dance' !
Smashed every panel including the roof, ripped off the front left wheel, etc
Never found the big arse spider!
Insurance company told me that it's very common.
We get mainly Wolf spiders and White Tailed spiders but I'm never usually close enough to tell!
It's one reason why I stay working on ships at sea!
Insect spray is no good - I use a pump action Winchester.




One of the trees I hit had a hollow in the bottom where the kids had made a 'gnome house' - but they look pretty exposed after the tree crashed down!
